To display actual sensor readings on the Wind Data Logger you will need to configure the ADC channels. The following equations are used to convert the voltage output from the sensors to standard units:

Light Intensity:

The values in parenthesis should be entered into the ADC setup screens on the Wind Data Logger.

Please Note: The pull-up resistor for the Solar Insolation Sensor's channel on the Wind Data Logger is removed when the sensor is ordered with the Wind Data Logger. If the sensor is ordered separately, please remove the resistor based on the connection below:
